Boa2, you ask very good questions but I'm going to refrain from answering them because doing so may slant other's postings thereby potentially make my discerning them more difficult. In other words I think I am able to obtain more pure and unadulterated responses by keeping my inquiry simple.

Also except for the room (14 x 21 x 8), I am in a position to swap components in and out. Music tastes are broad. I guess I answered two of your questions anyway.
